Big Suze was such a class act that she didn’t even bother to deliver a concession speech. The second she lost, she fuckity-byed it out of there.
BANGOR, Maine — Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) greeted supporters at her election party throughout the night but was a no-show after losing her bid for a sixth term.
Her campaign played Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and began packing up the room without any concession speech from Collins.
She really shouldn’t care. She’s made her money. Solid loot run all the way into old age. She enthusiastically fucked over regular people for massive personal gain. Good job SC! Don’t die any time soon!
I hate to say it but don’t forget about the Kirsten Sinema / Joe Manchun effect. Dems might have the majority in the Senate but they still have enough lurking Demuplicans silently willing to smear their feces on real reform.
They’re looking at likely a 6 person majority. Not that it couldn’t still happen, but 6? (5 I guess since they only need to tie)
Doubtful.
May I suggest the term blue dog to refer to these profligates, no offense but Demuplicans is a mouthful to read and also feels like it’s the name of an F tier demon from an SMT game.
DINO - democrats in name only
Point taken. By whatever name - they exist is the take-away here.
Blue Dogs tend to vote with the pack if they can’t be the single special snowflake. (i.e. the checks don’t clear as well when they have to be split five ways)
Time to lock her up for her crimes
She hasn’t learned her lesson.
now investigate her shady ass
Now is NOT the Time to be POLITICAL!
-LITERALLY Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
Say the career politicians, whose entire job is to be political. WTF do they think they get elected for, if not to be political?
Good riddance you corrupt soulless she’ll of a human
This lady will be remembered for failing all women in this country. May she faid away to obscurity…or prison.
If only her being voted out also meant Brett cavanaugh is booted out too
Goddam! I said GODDAM !!!
Not bad America - not fucking bad at all.
Thank all of you. I was sweating it.
They’re not out of hot water yet. Establishment Dems could still vote Schumer & Jeffries in as speakers while funneling AIPAC money to undermine the progressive caucus in congress.
They’ll end iran war funding and ICE funding on day 1. But I guarantee they’ll stop at half measures every time unless Americans keep democrats’ feet to the fire.
I agree completely. We’re not out of the gate yet and there’s going to be bullets, knives, and flung shit from every direction. It’s going to take a full frontal effort on part of blue to pull off America - a LOT of spine. It seems we’ve hired some honest people who’ll be excellent public servants. The way it’s supposed to be. Yay America. I’m proud of ya!
americans have no actual methods of “keeping their feet to the fire” because the methods all illegal
Until I see evidence otherwise I’ll continue operating under the “laws no longer apply” theory.
Don’t unclench yet, we have a month of lame duck fuckery ahead of us.
Two months: the 120th Congress doesn’t get sworn in until January 3, 2027. And those two months are going to be wild.
They need to prove that they are going to cause major change or is all for nothing. I know my boycott of murikkka is not ending until I see significant change
I’m not sure mine will until I die, and certainly not until Trump and his ilk are no longer a concern. That’s simply a national security matter.
Fully agree with you
Fuck you bitch don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
No more sternly worded letters from you, you fucking witch.
Now you can go fuck off into the woods of irrelevance, or just go as far north as you can and keep going to fucking Canada until you freeze to death the fucking arctic circle.
Watching some of those exit interviews was just astonishing with the way people were content with Collins but just decided it was time for a change of pace.

I’m not sure I’d take all that at face value. If you are a voter that believes you are surrounded by hostile people of a different mind you’d play it off casually too.
Nobody knew what they were walking into at the polls yesterday, for all we knew ICE was going to be out in force (also why a lot of us voted early) and all these people had lives to go back to, with no expectation that it would be the landslide it was. In what is still Trump’s US, it’s entirely possible some of those exit interviewees kept it deliberately casual just so that no one would have anything to hang on them later.
I’m telling you. Maine is full of shy, embarrassed conservatives.
Within the scope of the recent PEW Research typology, they’re at the very least a mixture of Order and Opportunity Left and Tuned-Out Middle, the former who basically get caught up in the security and immigration bullshit Republicans sling.
It’s the older generation electing ghouls because it’s the “polite” thing to do or some stupid shit. It’s why Florida didn’t flip near as hard as everywhere else.
Can we let the hurricanes eat Florida yet or is that considered uncouth/ uncivilized/ a human rights violation. Cause personally I think Bugs Bunny had the right idea.
insert blazing saddles meme
Rural conservative driven by a burning desire not to let Massachusetts pull ahead in the liberal policy arms race.
I’ve only known one Mainer. But if he’s at all typical of the folks up there, the one attribute I’d imagine not going over well among those constituents is laziness. Those are some hard-working mofos.
Trump, whose net approval rating in Maine was –32 on Election Day and who lost the state to Kamala Harris in 2022.
Huh? 2022??
Was this article written by hallucinating AI or was there some other vote in 2022? Because 2024 was the election between Trump and Harris.
Could be a typo from an idiot reporter too. I catch typos in NYT articles all the time… Writing is a mostly dead art form.
“Yeah yeah, whatever, smoothskin” - Collins probably
Bye bitch!
While head slightly shaking, and voice mildly trembling: ‘’ Well-l, I gue-ss voters, knew Troy Jaa-ck-sson is a cousin ffuck-err, and still prefer him. Iff they knew he was a cousin ffuck-err, but I doont waant to make it an issue’'.
Goodye, shaky lying puppet Susan Collins
Well she rubber-stamps the whims a daughter fucker so…
